Episode 33: The Longarming One
Alternative title: To Buy A Longarm Or Not To Buy A Longarm
Maybe you've been in the market for a longarm machine, or maybe you're looking to be talked out of it once and for all. Either way, we're addressing the pros and cons of longarm ownership to help you decide if it's for you!
With one of us on either side of the fence, there's some great points made to help see the big picture!
If you're nowhere near the consideration of purchasing one? We cover that too and outline the many alternatives quilters can use to finish their beautiful treasures!

Sewtopia Nirvana
WOW! I’m on my way to (my first) Sewtopia in Milwaukee in a couple of weeks and just listened to the two part chat with and Amy - WHAT FUN! Asheland and Lacie are such great hosts and it was like down home week with the locals… I LOVED learning the history of Sewtopia! Keep up the good work gals - you’re both gems! (But of course Lacie will always have a special place in my heart for introducing me to modern quilting!)
Great podcast!
I really enjoy listening to this podcast during my 4.5 mile morning walks. Their insights on quilting are very informational and their guest interviews are great. I always look forward to the next episode!
